Plot summary[]
As with the last book, although it allowed for multiple different endings, this book continues as if all the events from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back took place. You are Luke Skywalker's best friend, and you and Lando Calrissian are staking out Jabba the Hutt's palace as guards as Luke puts his plan into action to rescue Han Solo from Jabba's clutches. After that, you plan with the Rebel Alliance to destroy the second Death Star and bring down the Galactic Empire.
